Description

Juicy mini chicken meatloaves flavored with garlic, freshly grated Parmesan, and Italian herbs, baked to a golden crust and perfect for weeknight dinners or make-ahead meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl gently combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, minced garlic, egg, milk, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix with light hands until just blended.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly oil the parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Divide the mixture into six equal portions and shape each into a small loaf. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Brush the tops with olive oil and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Finishing Touches: For a crispier top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end of baking until the Parmesan is golden and bubbly. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite sides, or slice for sandwiches and salads.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the meat; gentle mixing keeps the loaves tender.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan delivers better flavor and texture than pre-grated varieties.
  • Let loaves rest 5 minutes after baking to retain juices before slicing.
  • To freeze raw, shape loaves, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 2 months; thaw overnight before baking.
